    Unlimited imaging flexibility
    New, complex interventions require the utmost imaging flexibility to visualize critical anatomy and identify pathological changes during procedures. FlexArm rotates on no less than eight axes creating virtually unlimited flexibility to perform imaging from head to toe on the left and right side for both 2D and 3D visualizations. The image beam remains aligned with the patient, allowing better anatomic visualization during rotations.

    Full staff positioning freedom
    The FlexArm positioning flexibility frees up medical teams to choose the best working position. The C-arm 270° range of movement allows all imaging positions to be reached without hampering optimal team positioning and without the need to move the patient table. This avoids disturbing equipment and instruments, and keeps the anesthesia zone free. All 3D navigation tools can be used from seven positions around the table to support optimal staff positioning and patient access.

    Improved radial access workflow
    To enhance physician comfort and patient access, during radial access cases the FlexArm C-arm can provide off-center imaging along both sides of the table up to 118 cm on both sides. This allows physicians to perform radial access cases on the left or right arm, fully or partially extended, without moving the patient or pivoting the table.

    Frequently asked questions

    The FlexArm movement flexibility and intelligent motion control allow you to set up procedure-based workflows to broaden lab utilization. You can stand at the head end for a carotid case, at the left or right side of the table for an EVAR, and quickly access any location on a patient during a trauma case. For complex cases, you can position the C-arm at 45° to create space for yourself and for the anesthesiologist at the head-end of the patient. To optimize working conditions for all team members, FlexArm can move 270° around the table.

    Frequent table movements during trauma and other critical procedures can dislodge wires and tubes and disrupt the equipment and instrument set-up at crucial moments. FlexArm gives you the ability to handle cases requiring full body access with 2D or 3D imaging from three sides of the table without pivoting or panning the table. This can enhance patient care and improve catheter, wire and intubation control. It also supports more efficient interventions by allowing you to standardize your clinical set-up.

    Quickly switching from a minimally invasive to an open procedure when needed is made possible by the ability of FlexArm to move away from the table to an automatic standby position with one simple move of the Axsys controller. This creates space around the table to perform all procedures that do not require X-ray imaging. It also allows quick access to a patient during an emergency situation. When called back, FlexArm follows the same route back to its original position, creating a predictable movement for staff.

    FlexArm offers many new innovations to help physicians and team members maintain their focus on the procedure. Whether you angulate or rotate the imaging system, the X-ray beam remains centered over the region of interest so you do not have to constantly re-adjust the position of the image to display it correctly. The Axsys motion control system and the FlexArm positioning flexibility provide predictable and precise system movements that promote less disturbance and greater staff concentration.

    To manage infection risk for patients during treatment, the FlexArm system is designed to meet stringent contamination control standards for operating rooms. It offers a Hybrid OR ceiling kit that supports Hybrid OR sterility requirements and allows easy cleaning of moving ceiling parts. The kit is designed to reduce laminar airflow disturbances when operating with a laminar airflow system.

    FlexArm opens up room to work anywhere needed around the table and use different patient access options to support a wide range of procedures and help you make efficient use of space. Its compact design frees up space for ancillary equipment, booms and carts, It also makes more working space available compared to robotic imaging systems because it does not create a large “no fly zone” in the treatment area and it’s more predictable in its movements.

    As demand for Hybrid ORs continues to increase, you can confidently welcome new clinical specialties into your FlexArm environment, and also embrace new treatment options for current user groups. Today, the flexibility of FlexArm supports current user groups such as vascular, cardiac, and neuro surgeons to perform procedures with better ergonomics and an improved workflow. This flexibility further allows newer specialties such as laparoscopic and thoracic as well as pulmonology to benefit in the same way with advanced imaging capabilities to offer innovative treatment options.
